YOUR DAILY DOSE OF GOD

Good morning Scripture reading: Galatians 5:1 Worship Song: Redeemed   Meditation:      Behavioral science experts believe that any source capable of stimulating a person can be addictive, and whenever a habit changes into an obligation, it can be considered an addiction. If this is truly the case, then many persons are struggling with some form of addiction without knowing or realizing they have an addiction. Some signs that a person might be addicted may include, but are not limited to, unexplained changes in attitude or mood, increased irritability or angry outbursts, changes in demeanor, withdrawal, secretive behavior, and neglecting responsibilities.       Regardless, there is nothing that we can be addicted to that the Lord cannot deliver us from. Jesus can free us of any addiction that is preventing us from living a normal life. Jesus came not only to die for our sins but to bring liberty to the captives and open the prison d...

Good morning Scripture reading: Jeremiah 29:11-14 Worship song: Seek Ye First   Meditation:      The nature of humans is to seek out things that satisfy their desires. The things you seek are evidence of your heart's desire. The earthly pleasures and possessions that we desire are only self-seeking attributes and gains, not a priority. If we seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness, all the things that are necessary and appropriate in this life according to God's will, he will grant it unto us. To seek the Lord means you desire to have a personal relationship with him, to learn more about him and his word, and to follow and obey his commands and precepts.       Seeking the Lord means you set your mind and heart on God, not on the corporate world. Those who sincerely seek after the Lord are those who continuously seek after righteousness, holiness, meekness, and goodness. The kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pea...

Good morning Scripture reading: Galatians 1 Worship song: Show Me Your Ways   Meditation:      Paul, in his writing, makes it clear that his preaching, ministry, and teaching were not ordained by man; they did not originate with man nor come through man but by Jesus Christ. He was anointed and appointed by Jesus Christ as an apostle to preach the gospel; therefore, he could boast that he does not please men. He was transformed from a violent persecutor of the Christians to a Minister of the Gospel. His conversion from ancestral beliefs to Christianity was a divine intervention that led him to preach the very gospel he once opposed. He was not led to Christ by men neither did he receive the gospel from men but by a heavenly revelation.       Jehovah God have the power and authority to use anyone he chose to fulfill his purpose to redeem souls for his Kingdom. God is still transforming and converting persons to fulfill his mission here on ea...

Good Morning Scripture reading: Matthew 25: 1-13 Mediation song: Give Me Oil in My Lamp   Meditation:      Have you ever had the unfortunate experience when the vehicle you are traveling in or driving runs out of fuel, leaving you stranded by the roadway? Better yet, have you encountered a power outage while you are in the middle of an important event, and when you check your backup source, it is out of fuel? If you are among those who have had this experience, it means that you understand what it means to be in a situation of unpreparedness. The bridesmaids waited to meet the bridegroom, but while they waited, the bridegroom delayed longer than they expected. When the bridegroom arrived at midnight, the ten virgins woke up and began to prepare their lamps, but there was a problem. The five foolish virgins ran out of oil and missed the opportunity to go with the bridegroom. The five wise virgins rejoice because they have enough supply of oil.   ...

Good morning Scripture reading: Judges 10 Praise song: You deserve the glory   Meditation:      The children of Israel constantly trespassed against the Lord God by worshipping and bowing to false gods. Their desire to serve other gods kindled the wrath of God against them. They disobey God's commandments and then appeal for mercy and forgiveness. Each time they sinned against God, God left them at the mercy of their enemies and withdrew His help. The Lord told the Israelites He would no longer deliver them, but after they repent and return to God, he has mercy on them and forgave them. Jehovah God is a compassionate, merciful, loving, and forgiving God, but that does not mean we should blatantly sin against him. The same command that applies to the Israelites still applies to us today. We are to put away the foreign gods that are among us, fear the Lord, and serve Him sincerely. Anything we idolize and worship other than our creator becomes our god. The Lord...

Good morning Scripture reading: Hebrews 9: 27-28 Worship song: Death Was Arrested   Meditation:      An appointment is a formal date or plan to meet at a specified time. The type of appointment depends on the purpose of the meeting. Not all scheduled appointments are kept; some are canceled, while some are postponed, and this depends on the nature or urgency of the matter. Scheduling an appointment helps us to keep our commitments, but there are those persons who sometimes reschedule appointments for their convenience. Nevertheless, there is an appointment that all of us must keep, and it is with DEATH. We are all appointed once to die, but after death comes the judgment. There is no exception and no exemption. We cannot reschedule, cancel, or ignore it because we do not have dominion power over its existence.       Death is no respecter of persons; be prepared and ready, for there is no repentance and confession in the grave. Do not fear; we...

Good Morning Scripture reading: Song of Solomon 2:15 Worship song: Here's My Heart Lord   Meditation:      King Solomon warns us to catch the little foxes before they ruin the vines that have tender grapes. Little foxes are destructive to the vines because they attack the roots and stems, which are the lifeline of the plant. The little foxes are the sins that burrow into our lives that we refuse to shun. They are the works of the flesh that war against the fruit of the spirit. The little foxes are the seemingly insignificant things that we disregard, the deception and lies that we accept that appear harmless yet have the potential to wreak havoc on our spiritual lives.       When we constantly disregard these habitual sins, they lead to major sins, which will eventually ruin our character and spiritual growth. A little spark kindled a fire; likewise, little willful sin defiles the conscience, so beware of the little foxes lurking in your vin...

Good morning   Scripture reading: 1 Peter 5:1-4 Praise song: Ocean   Meditation:      Arthur Blessitt, a travelling evangelist born in Mississippi, is well known as the preacher who carried a cross through every nation of the world. Through many dangers, toils, and snares, the grace of God kept him. Through difficult times and the hottest battlefield, he held on to faith and trusted God to lead him safely. He went on the mission, determined to spread the gospel, leading souls to Calvary. He walked through lonely deserts, across hills and valleys, teaching the will of God as he bore the weight of the heavy wooden cross. Listening to this intriguing life story gives a true reflection of what it means to truly follow and obey the Lord's command, to accept his will, and to trust Him wholeheartedly. It gives a clearer insight into what it truly means to trust God and walk by faith. Blessitt obeyed the call to witness to lost souls. His choice of reaching so...
